The project proposal is to reimagine the retail relic outside they have all kinds of educational institutes playgrounds, seldom unsafe, on the contrary inside of children. Karstadt will house three di erent types play and grow together. The aim is to design a space educational atmosphere that can act as a centre and

relic as a doorway to a safe space for children where institutes fragmented, con ned accompanying caged of the building, they will have their world - a village types of schools under one roof where they can learn, space that creates an informal, inviting, playful and and thereby contribute to its active urban fabric.
This thesis focuses on the Karstadt Müllerstrasse - a traditional department store on Leopoldplatz, Berlin-Wedding. It was constructed in the 1970s, less than 2 Km from the Berlin Wall. Today Karstadt is on the verge of abandonment with its inward-facing spatial layout, endless deep oor plans and windowless facades, facing the mentioned challenges. This research explores the potential for repurposing Karstadt beyond its traditional retail function.

The concept of the design proposal portrays a vertical village which will accommodate three educational institutions: a primary school, a high school, and an integrated secondary school. The core idea is to create an interactive learning environment where students of all age groups reside within the same vertical village but attend separate schools.
The three school blocks, each dedicated to its respective age group, are connected by a plaza. This connected plaza acts as a forum, like a living room in a house, with its atriums that not only serve as light wells but also house gardens in the basement levels, contributing to the village's landscape. The cafeteria at the central plaza in the basement mirrors the village square, which will be the communal hub for students from all three schools. The plazas on each oor act as an extension of the village square.
The proposed design intends to promote a collective identity through shared spaces, promoting parallel learning, thus fostering a unique and interactive educational environment, acting as a village.

A double-height shared space owed throughout the whole building creating an In-between public space that maximizes connectivity and vertical communication.
A pivotal architectural innovation within the design is the introduction of a rotating core. The two L-shaped cores, housing re stairs and toilet facilities pivot at right angles on each oor, acting as a dynamic landscape for distinct spaces such as meeting rooms, o ices, lounges, seminar rooms, exhibition areas, cafés, and team collaboration spaces. This design eliminates the traditional front and back, establishing a public building with entries on all four sides.
Four community staircases, spanning from ground level to the top oor, simulate the atmosphere of a public street within the building. The strategic placement of a co-working café on the uppermost oor further ampli es this e ect. In pursuit of sustainability and zero-energy construction, the entire building, from oor slabs to columns, is crafted from timber. The use of a modular grid system ensures exibility in space utilization, complemented by removable curtain systems serving as partition walls. The new Bauakademie envisions itself as a performing art, with users acting as curators, actively designing and utilizing the space as per their needs.

The designed university o ers a platform to acknowledge the past by the involvement of present and future generations. The challenge was to accommodate a substantial program with both academic and residential facilities in a high contour site.
The design has been evolved considering two strong axis running from east west and north south. Strategically, the library, center of educational institution placed at the origin of the two axis and at the highest point of the site; keeping in mind the vision and power of knowledge. The university comprises three faculty buildings; faculty of Arts, Science and Fine Arts.
